The Illinois Holocaust Museum is hosting a Negro Green Book exhibition.
It is located in Skokie.
Of real interest is an interactive driving tour from the 1940s and 1950s. On one you use the Green Book and you can also make the same drive where you don't have to use the Green Book. In other words, you are White, not Black on the second one.
It was too bad that Blacks had to even use the Green Book, but that was the way it was back then.
FEBRUARY 12
The Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet, Illinois, will soon have a 40-foot long mural featuring tself and Route 66. Both the theatre and Route 66 are celebrating their centennials in 2026.
The mural was made with an $85,000 grant.
